Tested myself and remade an old mac-10 from last year. Pleased to say I noticed a positive change in the way I handle textures and mesh optimization. A bit challenging to texture because of the flat design of the gun but it was worth the effort creating 2 more smart materials that will be useful in the future.
6.8k verts / 13.1k tris (mac+silencer+ 4 rounds in the mag)
